It may prove interesting as a matter Of
record to preserve the following extra
ordinary facts. 1t is thought there is no
record of the mercury passing so low as
80 degrees Fahrenheit on the Florida
reef. Our friend, Mr.. Ralph w. Monroe,
of Chords station, Staten island, who
spends the winters at Miami, near Cape
Florida, the extreme southern point of
Florida, writes as follows; 1--WE have
had the most boisterous cold weather SO
far that 1 have ever had here. Both
here and at Long key there was frost
enough to kill young cocoanut trees and
many of the vegetables, although it came
In spots only. 1t now looks as if some
one had gone around with torch, and.
selecting certain trees and shrubs here
and there, fired them. Ice formed in
shallow vessels about a quarter of an
inch in thickness, much to the surprise
of the natives, who had never seen such
a thing before. l inclose a photograph
of some fishes picked up at Long key
on the cold morning"
There were large numbers of dead
fishes on the beaches, as reported else
where; the photograph taken by Mr..
Monroe shows twenty-seven distinct
species. They are tastefully arranged
within border of sea-feathers and other
soft corals. A young hawk's-bin turtle
and a small shark are introduced, and
introduced, and numerous a-urchins,
starfishes, etc., are interpreted to form
a very interesting picture = all the
products of one gathering on the beach
after the cold snap" There are several
species of the gorgeously colored angel
fishes; surgeon-f1sh, that has such an
artificial-looking lancet on each side OF
its tail; cow-fishes, tile-fishes, ~runts,
bill-fish, murray eel, trunk-fshes-
familiar kinds to the sojourners in the
tropical waters, where their brilliant |
colors give additional attractiveness to |
the coral-growing lagoons, but wholly
unfamiliar to others, as they are not |
in colder waters. The un-
friendly chill of the too-far-advanced
cold wave brought myriads to the surface
to decor. New York Evening Post.

Many Masses of sretsoric Iron.

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation of
this. The earth is big magnet, as
shown by the proceedings of bar of
steel freely suspended and accurately
balanced on its center. Bombicci's idea
is that this big terrestrial magnet, when
rushing through space containing meteo-
nc particles, exerts a selective attrac-
ton for those which are ferruginous.
The fact that so many masses of mete-
ORIG iron have been found in the arctic
regions, so far as it goes, supports this
theory Budget.

A New and Cruel Fashion.

The new fashion of painted horses
comes from the east, and 1 see it has
been already adopted here. A painted
horse is a horse whose legs and chest
have been clipped close so as to fully
reveal the mouse color of the skin. but
whose body remains untouched by the
shears The effect In the contrasting
colors OF the limbs and body is to leave
the impression that either the legs or
body OF the horse have been painted. l
do not see anything identifying in the
process, but it is cruel to degree that
should demand the attention of the
Humane society, as the clipping exposes
the vital parts of the animal. and colds
are easily contracted. The Humane
society should get after the owners of
private horses that are painted. Jesse

Disseminated Subjects in the Dominion.
The British subjects north of the lakes
and the st. Lawrence are not satisfied
with the present or the prospect for the
future. The feeling between the Eng
hsh and French Canadians becomes more
bitter as time passes by. Taxation is
very heavy, and yet the finances of the
Dominion are in very discouraging
state. The deficit last year was over
So, 1000, 900, and it will be even greater
this year. Although the population is
100000 greater than in 1857, the year
of the confederation, the debt has grown
from 500, 600, 900 to $292, 200, 900, while
the taxation has more than doubled.
Since the civil war the United States has
reduced it's debt from $50 to $28 per
head; the Canadian debt during the same
time has increased from $50 to $40 per
head. The Dominion has large foreign
emigration, but the United States soon
proves more attractive to the new
arrivals than does British America.
Then the native emigration from
Canada to the United States is getting
larger every year. In some of the
manufacturing towns of New EnelanA
the working men are mainly from the
north OF the st. Lawrence. -Demorest'

Success in Farming.

The farmer should select for his princi-
pal crops those which he takes sufficient
interest in to become familiar with their
character and particular wants; and plant
them only on land best adapted to their
growth. All of the crops for sale should
be such as will find ready market; then
he should make it his business to grow
them to the highest perfection. so when
carried to market the quality will be so
much above the average that they will at
tract the attention of consumers then, il
put up in an attractive form, the demand
will be such as to command a price so
much above the average as to make a
difference as great as that between success
and failure. To try to grow crops on land
not adapted to them, or crops which the
farmer does not take interest enough in to
learn their wants. is to invite q failure.
To be successful in farming. like any
other business, requires constant effort
directed by judgment ripened by close
observation and numerous practical tests.

Sheep as Weeders.

A breeder of sheep who has given them
trial as weeders, gives the result of his
experience as follows:
1t is my practice to turn sheep into the
potato field, tor the purpose CT eating
down the weeds. The sheep will not
touch the potato vine. This pasturing with
sheep is advantageous. when the crop is a
late planted one, so that the hoeing cannot
be completed until after the haying or
harvesting is finished. At the growing
season it is the farmers aim to keep down
the grass and weeds so that they may be
covered by the cultivator and hoe, when
these are used. Pasturing with sheep will
attain this object. Early planted crops,
the cultivation of which is completed in the
early part of the summer, frequently be-
come grassy and weedy before the. time of
digging. when the size of the tops pre-
cludes cultivation. In this stage the sheep
are economical weeders. 1t is hardly
necessary to mention that the feed thus
given to the sheep makes double profit,
inasmuch as it costs absolutely nothing,
while labor is saved and weeds prevented
from going to seed.
